I was able to use a Canon ImageClass MF260-series with vanilla Ubuntu
18.04 recently, I'm pretty sure it was the MF264dw.
I ordered one for myself, but failed to notice that I was getting the
MF269dw instead of the 264.
SANE-powered apps don't seem to be able to detect the scanner, though
the printer works fine.
$ sudo sane-find-scanner
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make
sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be

I also tried using the network connection. I looked at the pixma.conf as
the best bet for the driver, but noticed that the printer is not
listening on port 8612.
